Peter Brooke-Ball
Janus by Peter Brooke-Ball - Marble sculpture, abstract, white, mystery, rope

2024

About the Item

Janus is a unique Lilac marble, rope, wax sculpture by contemporary artist Peter Brooke-Ball, dimensions are 17 × 25 × 23 cm (6.7 × 9.8 × 9.1 in). The sculpture comes with a certificate of authenticity. The humour, simplicity, and sensuality of Peter Brooke-Ball's works surprise despite their lack of a clear, self-evident message. The intention is to make “objects that are gorgeous with a hint of mystery“, as he himself puts it. The sculptures question ideas of protection and bonding while occasionally making references to violence or coercion. This is in line with the artist's statement that “I see each piece as a thought and I want to keep that thought secure and precious, fearing it might all slip away“. The titles of sculptures frequently allude to a concept, a circumstance, or an emotion, even though each viewer responds differently and has their own interpretation. Above all, the artist appreciates feedback from young viewers who are uninhibited and have a tactile and instinctive connection to the sculptures.
